What is Wellness?

WELL - NESS
You hear us using the word wellness a lot.  It’s a very popular word in the health, beauty, and WELL-NESS industries.  I recently read an article UCDAVIS Student Health and Counseling Services wrote about wellness and why it matters.  I really couldn’t describe it any better.  

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life.  Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.

Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness matters. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being.  In turn, our well-being directly affects our actions and emotions.  It’s an ongoing circle.  Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions.

There are eight dimensions of wellness: occupational, emotional, spiritual, environmental, financial, physical, social, and intellectual. Each dimension of wellness is interrelated with another.  Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum health.  One can reach an optimal level of wellness by understanding how to maintain and optimize each of the dimensions of wellness.
